why would kenneth walker not be able to use a firearm that's registered and he's a lawfully carryingcitizen to protect his home and the woman he loves in this place where others are coming inside the home. if they announced themselves, they are still in plain clothes. they were driving cars that weren't police officers and kenneth called 911 himself. why is somebody who was trying to kill a police officer call 911 and not comply with officers if they did announce themselves in the first place. they had nothing to hide. there was no drug, no drug traffickers. again, it's going to come down to who is jury will believe and from all accounts this prosecutor assigned to this case is going to proceed forward with the prosecution of kenneth walker. >> i want to ask you one question about ahmaud arbury's death. there's reports other states are pushing to re-evaluate their citizen arrest laws. i'm wondering if you think it's a step in the right direction. >> it's the perfect step. things will not change if we concentrate on the lawsuits and pursuing accountability through the courts as far as

i'm sure the nra has reached out to you to support kenneth walker, is that right? >> we're still waiting for that call, reverend al. it's as if the second amendment does not apply to african-americans. >> miss palmer, the fact that everyone that i have talked to and i have board members of national action network in louisville, your daughter had an impeccable reputation. and not only was she killed in this situation that i know is painful for you and only the love of a mother would make you even go through these kind of interviews, but i understand they ran you around that night, sending you to the hospital and back and forward. explain how you were told about her death and what you went through just on the evening that your daughter was killed. or i should say morning before day. >> i actually was never told that she was killed, but i got a call from kenneth in the middle of the -- after 12 and he said somebody was trying to get in here and i think they shot breonna. i can hear him screaming and yelling and saying breonna's name. of course i was in the bed. someho

this is her boyfriend, kenneth walker, calling 911 when the police entered their house.believed he was a break-in. >> 911 operator here, where is your emergency? >> i don't know what's happening. somebody kicked in the girl inside my girlfriend's. >> what has been the reaction to the release of this 911 call? >> it's been really, really difficult for a lot of people to hear. it's a very emotional call. you can really tell just how torn up he is as he's making this call to 911. at no point does he say that he has the understanding that it was the police that were involved in this. so when he was calling 911, he didn't know that police were actually already at this apartment. and so it's important to note that just a couple of hours after this 911 tape came out, was released by an attorney for taylor's family, shortly after is when we started seeing people taking to the streets thursday night. and as you mentioned, thursday night was a really dangerous night to be on the streets. i mean, seven people were shot. two of them serious enough to require surgery. at last update,

just yesterday the charges were dropped against breonna's boyfriend, kenneth walker, a legal gun owner who tried to defend her from the fatal shooting. he was charged with attempted murder of a police officer and assault after they came in and he, according to what we were told, said they did not identify themselves as policemen. joining me with the details is the mayor, greg fisher. mayor fisher, it seems there's been the charges dropped against this young man, who many wanted to see. you've announced a cpac in terms of a civilian police review board. but what will that really mean? how long will that take and will they have the power to do something, or is it just ceremonial to get by the moment? >> thanks for having me on, rev. the first thing i want to do is recognize the loss of breonna's life. it was a huge loss for our community and they are joining in me with saying the number one thing is truth, justice, let's get that out. that's why i've asked the fbi and u.s. attorney and attorney general to get involved with this and made some immediate changes as well. no-knock warrants r

kenneth walker, taylor's boyfriend. this is the conflict with the stand your ground/castle laws and no-knock warrants, which activists are calling on the mayo to stop that practice. the issue is that it creates a stand offand shooting spree between police and civilians. mr. walker says he never knew these were police entering hess home. lmpd said we announced his home, but mr. walker and neighbors, according to the lawsuit, say they never heard them announce they were police. many folks said, how are we supposed to believe and know it's generally police trying to enter my home rather than an intruder. even though the no-knock warrant were allowed by the supreme court, we in and out have these laws on the books, right, stand your ground laws that many police officers say, tell us here at "the courier journal" it creates many conflicts. and there's questions about the judge who signed the no-knock warrant. and in the warrant there's no indication that taylor's home had cameras, that they were merely looking for mail and d

kenneth walker is currently under arrest and has been charged with attempted murder for shooting through the door. the police did not identify himselves and he was worries his home was being invaded. he was doing what kentucky law allows for standing his ground, defending his home, girlfriend and property. because he's a black man in america, he was not treated like the legal gun owner that he is. the nra has not come to his support and he's now being accused of attempted murder. that 911 call is sith to this case, you only call 911, if you believe that your home is being inva invaded. not if you believe the police are on the other side of that door. transparency makes sure that the 911 tape is released to the public so we can hear what truthfully happened in this case and move on from there. >> the attorney representing armery's family is also representing the family of brianna taylor. >> black women lives matter too, equally. and so if you ran -- you look at these two cases and the issues, it's unbelievable. never have i seen two cases that has such a vivid distinction of black and whi

initially authorities charged 27-year-old kenneth walker with attempted murder saying he shot a police officer when they forced their way into brianna taylor's home around 1:00 a.m. on march 13th. now the commonwealth's attorney is asking the court to dismiss the pending grand jury indictment against walker until investigations by the fbi, the u.s. attorney's office and the state attorney general's office are completed. in a statement, the attorney representing taylor's family says while dismissing the charges is the right thing to do, it comes more than two months after brianna was killed and kenneth was arrested. the police spent these months defending their actions and smearing their good names. this is just another step of the pd taking full responsibility for its actions. taylor's family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the police department saying walker fired at officers in self-defense because he thought he and taylor were being robbed. the three officers responded by bloi blindly firing more than 20 shots into the apartment according to the lawsuit. the police depart

her boyfriend, kenneth walker, who was with her at the time, says he thought someone was breaking intoment and fired a weapon he was licensed to own in self-defense hitting an officer in the leg. the lawsuit accuses the police of blindly returning fire, unloading 20 rounds into the apartment and killing taylor. this week the louisville police department citing the ongoing investigation declined to comment on the case, but at a news conference in march, they claimed that police had announced their presence and were immediately met by gunfire. today the mayor of louisville announced a public integrity investigation would begin into the shooting and that it will be sent to federal officials for review. kentucky's attorney general will examine the evidence and announce a course of action. this investigation into taylor's killing comes just weeks after a new prosecutor was selected to investigate the fatal shooting of ahmaud arbery, an unarmed black man killed while jogging in georgia. for more, i'm joined by aaron haynes, editor at large for "the 19" and benjamin crump, the attorney repres

officers should face criminal charges because his office intends to prosecute taylor's boyfriend kenneth walker so this prosecutor is determined to go ahead and prosecute mr. walker regardless for using his stand your ground -- for trying to stand his ground and now they're saying they're going to step aside. is there a single prosecutor in this case that has come forward and been helpful to this family at all? >> not at this point. nobody has given any answers, joy. and just two things. you mentioned ahmaud arbery. we have to remember that black women lives matter too equally and so if you stand for ahmaud you need to stand for bre because when you look at these two cases and the issues, it's just unbelievable. never have i seen two cases, joy, that has such a vivid distinction of self-defense of black and white. when you think about the killers of ahmaud arbery who executed him in broad daylight there was a video and when the police came to them, they said, self-defense. and when they said that, they were not arrested, they were allowed to leave and go home and sleep in their beds peacefully
